The Thirty-Second: Android

We apologise for saying too much, saying too little, not doing enough, doing way too much.

We apologise for crying, laughing, speaking, listening, failing, succeeding.

We apologise for cheating, stealing, killing, hurting, punching, heart-breaking.

But after all of these have been pardoned, what's the point? Have we said sorry too much? Or was it just not worth saying it in the first place. Yes, sometimes, with reason, it's called for.

There's exceptions (including the last listed line above). Saying "I love you" too much probably isn't something you should apologise for. It is to be encouraged. Seeing too much of one person? Don't apologise unless you're stalking them. The company is needed. Think you've told someone close to you too much about yourself? There's a reason they're close to you. They take it willingly and trustingly.

Please, please don't doubt yourself.
You're only human.
